Come create a unique and creative location in the heart of Issy-les-Moulineaux !

Together, let’s create a unique and creative space, open to residents and businesses, which inspires knowledge sharing, experimentation and wonder!

In Issy-les-Moulineaux, Altarea Cogedim is constructing the future eco-district “Issy Cœur de Ville”, a joint urban project spanning 100,000 m² right in the heart of the Hauts-de-Seine commune. Nestled near the metro and on the former Orange CNET site, this green, innovative urban center will reflect Altarea Cogedim’s broad range of expertise by combining various urban functions: housing, retail, cinema and public infrastructure scheduled for opening in 2022.

To bring this innovative vision to life, a 1,500-m² creative workshop will be built at the centre of this eco-district with the goal of becoming an icon for the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux.

This unique and creative workshop, a bustling and popular meeting place, aims to offer a new experience to meet the expectations of all users, residents, businesses, schools and associations.

By combining the best that real estate has to offer, the future space will respond to the evolving societal and technological challenges.

Take part in the creation and development of a place of experience and innovation at the heart of the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux!

This collaborative design process is known as Open Design and helps create a new way to design unifying, innovative, multi-functional and jointly built spaces.

Alain Taravella, Founding President of Altarea Cogedim: “As a city contractor, I hope to reach out to entrepreneurs, big businesses, start-ups, students and all stakeholders with a general interest, and I would like to invite them to participate in our group’s Open Design approach. This new collaborative design method draws on collective intelligence to develop a strong design that will serve as the guiding principle of the site, located in the heart of Issy-les-Moulineaux. We thus consult with players from all walks of life and provide the most promising projects with the opportunity to develop in the future space”.

André SANTINI,former Minister, Issy-les-Moulineaux Mayor, Métropole du Grand Paris Vice-president : "Innovation is deeply rooted in Issy-les-Moulineaux's DNA. For its third eco-neighborhood, "Issy Cœur de Ville", the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux is expecting the emergence of a new place that corresponds with its vision of a smart city: open, creative and collaborative. This call for projects will enable the definition of a concept which is both distinguishing and pioneeing. Across 1500m², it will offer to the inhabitants, companies, schools & associations a way to exchange, discover, learn and experiment all while having fun and being in awe of the digital potential."

The site’s DNA

The primary objective is to be open to a broad portion of the general public, thanks to suitable pricing

accessible to local residents. We would like this space to reflect the goals of Altarea Cogedim and the city

of Issy-les-Moulineaux through 5 foundational pillars to guide your creativity and your innovations:

A universal design

The space should incorporate a powerful design and exhibit positive values for the city and its inhabitants. More than a trend, it must embody a universal and timeless dimension. This design will be a central theme influencing the events hosted in the space.

An open and unifying space

The site will be the result of synergies created between the different players bringing it to life. It must be accessible and appealing to everyone: residents, businesses, associations, schools, visitors, etc.

A space that sparks interest and nurtures growth

The site’s mission will be to share and educate. This mission must be reflected in all of the events offered.

A space for activity and innovation

Embracing the positive effects of experimentation, this site will offer a chance for visitors to try things. It will also offer a playground to artists, artisans or businesses looking to innovate and contribute to the life of this space.

A space for wonder

The site should provide visitors creative and sensorial experiences, by emphasising immersion and interaction all while remaining accessible to everyone. Technology may be a means, but not an end.

An initiative open to everyone

Would you like to recommend a solution, activity, experience or event for the site? Do you have a design or development idea?
